 As Brexit looms on the horizon, the question of leaving the EU has spread to Ireland. Following an iREXIT conference in the OrdeaS this Saturday and the recent formation of the DCU Brexit Institute, we asked DCU students if they would consider supporting an iREXIT. I don't think so. I think there's obviously a lot of benefits to it. We get free trade and all that kind of stuff. I don't think so. I don't think it's a good idea. I don't seem to work well for Britain anyway, so I don't know. I wouldn't know. Because like the EU, every year I would say that the government they get money off the EU and all that. So it would be hard for us to back ourselves and answer it if you like. I think it's a very, it's a very beautiful thing that you're all allowing people from the other EU nations to come here and that should continue. And everybody should live in peace and harmony as much as possible. It's true, but I think considering how far out we are, all of your reply we're far west of it. So I think, and with Britain in between us as well, I think that would cause even more problems if we weren't in the EU as well. No, being part of the EU has so much benefits to it, like free travel and other things like that. I don't think it would be beneficial for Ireland to leave. DCU lecturer Karen Devine spoke at the conference Saturday. Devine said she's neither for or against an iREXIT, but is heavily critical of Ireland's EU relationship. I would love it if our government did their job. I would love it if the basically the common fisheries policies was abolished. I know that fishing is very important to coastal communities and rural communities along the coasts and in a way it sustains communities. Devine called for the abolition of the bay out to free up money to reinvest into the Irish economy and for Ireland to leave the common security and defence policy. I think it's a good idea for us to get involved and said to be operating on the principle of a single set of forces. So we're going to help the French do what they do in Africa and their former colonies looking after their own interests there. I don't think that that's the right just and more thing to do.
